Vancouver
Wet, mountain-backed, and more seawall than scene
The City in One Minute
Vancouver is a rainforest city with a skyline that sits under mountains like a temporary arrangement. Seawall, sushi, and a ferry to an island suburb — the outdoor life is not a weekend add-on.
Why Visit?
Visit Vancouver when you want a North American city that takes hiking and ocean as weekday facts. Toronto has the lake and the food map; this has the trail that starts in town and a Pacific weather that keeps things green.

How Long Should You Stay?

Before You Go
- A Compass card covers SkyTrain, buses, and SeaBus. The seawall is the other transit.
- Rain is the default. A shell beats an umbrella on windy days.
- Book one mountain or island outing; leave a weather buffer. Tip in sit-down rooms.
Good to Know
The unobvious notes are still being collected
This is where late-discovered context will live — the things travelers usually learn too late.
